    You cant love the game when opposition always score on the same way and you cant score like that. Passes goes to directions you didnt choose. Defenders leaving space for opposite striker to shoot no matter what tactic you choose. Fast,strong and agile players becomes slow, weak and sluggish the moment game decided you need to lose.

    Podriamos decir que podemos pasar de jugar myclub, pero esto no nos aportaria una solucion, ya que los sistemas offline estaran igual de rotos, convirtiendo al titulo, en un titulo roto y repetitivo, el año que viene pasara lo mismo, una beta que sera muy buena ya que no dispone de micropagos, un juego que al comprarlo te situa en modo de novato y te facitita que ganes para que te enganches y volvera a romperse en el momento que no efectues micropagos, mala compra,tomadura de pelo,situaciones de impotencia por que es imposible avanzar en el juego si no ejerces micropagos, en defitiva un juego que no esta programado para que el usuario disfrute y pase con el buenos momentos, es un titulo que esta programado desde el dia 1 para sacarnos todo el dinero que pueda y que sin dudarlo se olvidara del deporte que representa, de los valores que son indicativos de un juego justo, que gane el mejor, un juego que olvida todo eso para anteponer sus scripts,handicaps y tragaperras a la diversion del usuario, la sensacion es que compras una demo de un buen juego y tienes que ir renovando el juego a base de efectuar micropagos compra nada recomendada.    … Expand

Do not be fooled by the fantastic ball physics, as you will rarely get to experience them. Your players will stand and stare at easily retrievable balls and gift goals away. Your goalkeeper will fail to save weak shots. Your players will fall over at the lightest touch, or they will be rugby tackled and the referee will penalise you. After almost 5 months of the game being out, CONnami have done little to nothing except count your money and do nothing to improve this atrocity. At this point, it is just a money farming machine, with absolutely no investment going back into the game. They take the game servers down for 6 hours every week, just to annoy their paying customers, they don't change anything in the game in these updates. Disgusting amounts of abusable tactics, such as "ping pong" passing, where you can spam 1-2s and go from one end of the pitch to the other without interference. If you play with Ronaldo and Vieira on your team, you cannot lose no matter how bad and clueless you are. Every match, your players play completely different from the last, the form arrows are meaningless. Some games your blue arrow 100 rated messi can miss open goals and basic 1-2s. There is no way FIFA is not the better game this year, at least there is a small amount of consistency. Don't bother playing against AI, they are either insanely stupid and you win 10-0, or they cheat and give themselves free kicks, and foul you in the box for no penalties. An absolute disgrace, appalled that I spent money to feel this way from a video game. A company full of animals and I strongly urge you to never buy one of their scams again.… Expand

It's not that old style fun any more.

    This game looks great but it's so scripted on top difficulty levels. It has some nasty problems with players control, players switching, referee, perfect AI on top difficulties. I can't really enjoy this game because when I play on "professional" difficulty level I dominate too much and it's boring. But when I switch to any next difficulty level game feels unplayable. It almost feels broken.

    Player control feels very assisted. I used to switch the game engine assistance level from high to moderate/medium in old games to improve the game responsiveness but I can't find the same switch any more. I can feel assistance when the player decides to stand still despite the fact that I press move or changes the move direction slightly for no reason. I often see that I already pressed pass/shot/whatever but my player still makes some unnecessary extra touches before the requested action is executed. It's quite disappointing because the chosen action may not be suitable after additional time wasted on useless touches. This problem becomes a real pain on the top game difficulty because AI pressure a lot and I don't have spare time to just keep the ball. The most weird thing I've ever seen was a case when I did a perfect pass and set my striker 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper but instead of a 1 touch shot which I pressed my striker decided to get the ball and keep it for a second. Obviously it was stolen and there was no shot. Game also allows to cancel actions but it's unstable. You never know if it will work this time or not. Overall it makes an impression that I don't have a real control on my players because at any point in time then can ignore actions which I choose and do something different. It's always very frustrating in any game because it makes me feel that game plays itself and I can just slightly affect the result sometimes.

    Player switching is basically broken from old times. It was always buggy and sometimes game just doesn't allow to control a player which you want unless you move to the manual player switching which I found too hardcore. Sometimes game automatically switch to the wrong player and it's always a disaster. It's either a missed goal opportunity or a ball in your net. Again, it's hard to feel that you have a control when AI runs to your goalkeeper and you just spam the button responsible for player change but it gives wrong player again, and again, and again... And it's another ball in your net.

    Referee is pure random. The same case can be ignored or treated as foul from any of the side. Yes, it's quite funny but sometimes you loose a ball and your player is down but referee also says that it's your foul. It's needless to say that a proper defensive action can be punished with a foul. Sometimes I received penalties for no real reason. Also referee is biased and gives more fauls to the weak team which is usually my team since I play master league and I start with nonsense players. Defense feels broken because of the ref since you either can't get the ball from the opponent or it's another foul.

    This game supports late foul punishments so ref can give a foul for the action from the past but it's not polished too. I've seen a lot of cases when ref stops the game but team keeps the ball and has a good opportunity in offense.

    AI plays perfectly on top difficulties. It covers all your players, scores almost all shots, wins almost all wrestles. It's so tiring to play with the team which striker can just receive a ball out of the box, turn in 1 fast touch and score a dead goal leaving zero chances for a keeper. Also it's hard to succeed in offense too. The only real chance to win is to counter attack because AI has crazy defense. It usually gather all players in the box or near the box and there is literally no space for a pass or a shot.

    The most disgusting part is scripting though. It's impossible to play the game after 70 min on professional+ difficulties. AI becomes flawless and pushes you crazily. It usually scores as many goals as it wants. I say wants for a reason since it likes to equalize any lead by the end of the game. If I have no lead, it typically destroys me. And it feels really sad since it's a punishment for no real reason. Even if I play well and dominate the 70th minute will come and make everything upside-down.

    As a result this game is hardly enjoyable. When I play on professional difficulty I dominate too much and feel almost no challenge. But when I set it to any higher difficulty level I just suffer. Master league feels broken. This game can be way better just by removing scripts. It's possible at least to hold against perfect AI and get some occasional goals but the 70th minute handicap rape is too much. I think that it makes sense to skip this game if you have older versions of PES. Maybe wait for a big discount if you want to try it for some reason.    … Expand

    Worst pes ever, the gameplay is so boring, Konami in his desire to do a more simulation game, managed to make a game where they eliminated all the fun. I am a big fan of PES since Winning Eleven for PS1, but this time I will not defend them, I will return to PES 19.

    Very bad episode of the series. One of the worst if not the most bad. Players turn like a sloth, they have a touch of a rapist, pass like an amateur, move like an idiot and in the top of that the gameplay is rigged in order to balance the differences between opposing sides. I play this game for 10 years and this is the most horrible release of it all.
